LAUNCHING. The barkertinc Frances was sue
cessfully launched Monday forenoon from the
yard of Mr.. George W. Cottrell III this city. The
vessel is l55 feet on the keel, l15 on deck over ALL
33 feet inches beam, II feet hold, and measures
GA tons government register. The frame is of
Virginia white oak, the panking and ceiling south
ern hard pine. The lower masts are Oregon pine
the main and miZzen being 80 feet long, with top
masts 81 feet. The foremost is 81 feet, with top
mast and top gallant masts to correspond in height
to the other masts. The Frances is built for G.
Morton Stewart 4 Co. of Baltimore, owners of the
Glad Tidings and Priscilla, built by Mr.. Cottrell
The Frances, like the Others is built for the Balti
more and Rio JancirO trade. This firm owns five
vessels in the same trade, three of which have
been built i'll Belfast. The vessels are built for
speed. The Frances was built from the mouls of
the Priscilla and much resembles that vessel. The
masts, however, will be placed farther forward
which it is believed will improve her sailing quail
ties. The Frances will be metaled in Baltimore.
The vessel is painted green below the white water
line, black above, with 4 white stripe along the
waist, and white rails. The Frances is very sharp
forward, has very sharp and light stern, and
good floor and body, and must prove a fast sailer
The vessel was launched without her masts and
was towcd to the Sanford steamer wharf by the
steamer Electa. The Frances will be commanded
by Capt. Bonner, the veteran commander who was
captain of the Glad Ti'iings and Priscilla when
they were new. The Frances reflects much credit
on the builder and we hope she will prove all that
the owners anticipate. 1t is quite probable that
MIR. COttrell will build another vessel for the same
parties. The Frances will be rugged by Mr.. Den

How MONKEYS EAT OYsTERs.-A writer
in Nature gives the following description OF
the monkeys method of taking and eating
oysters: In the islands of the Meigue arch
ipelago, the rocks left bare at the low TIDE
are covered with oysters OF different sizes.
A monkey probably the Macacus cynomoi-
gus) which iDhabits these quarters, .prowls
along shore when the sea is low, and opens
the oysters attached to the rocks by strik-
ing the upper shell with stone until he
has broken it. Then ne extracts the mol
Iusk with his fingers or swallows it directly
from the shell. Upon frightening these
epicures away, the observer found that the
stones that they left behind had been select
ed with view to being easily grasped by
the animals fingers, and not with regard to
heaviness. The fact is the more curious IN
that the rocks to which the oysters are al
teched emerge from mud, and the monkeys
are obliged to procure the stones on the
shore at some distance off. Instinct singu-
larry guides them in the operation, for they
begin by breaking the hinge, and then the
shell above the point of attachment. The
gibbons that inhabit these islands do not
eat oysters.

Gazeett&&ss,

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper liz
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. In
it's columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is go close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part Of the habtable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history Of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are 10 be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzErTE's circulation is steadily 10
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country edi.
as large as the daily--is sent
Ill over this section of country three tines
. week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad-
'ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
larent.

Views of the General Passenger
Agents upon Its Interpretation.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The general passen-
ger agents of the various roads in the South
western Passenger Association have just
submitted to the general manager their re-
port regarding their Interpretation and appli-
cation of the interstate commerce law as
relating to passenger traffic. The main
difficulties, the report says, encountered in
giving practical effect to the best features of
the law are found in section %.
In relation to the proviso therein that
nothing in this act shall apply to the issu-
ance of mileage, excursion or computation
passenger tickets" the view of the general
passenger agents is that this simply means
that In regard to these tickets the rates for
the same are not requiIed to be published, as
in the case of the regular local tariff, and
that they may be changed from time to time
without the required notice, as in the case of
the rates in the published tariffs, but that in
the matter of open rates to all in the case of
| mileage tickets, and on occasions of excur-
sion rates being used, and as to the commu-
| tation business, with equal rights to all class
| es in the use OF the tickets under this proviso
| of the law. ''the remedies now existing at
| common law or by statue" apply against dis
| elimination and unreasonableness. The re-
report continues: The law inferentially
permits first, second and third (emigrants)
| classes of passengers, il the accommodations
are as varied as the classes. Children under
five years Of age, accompanied by parents OF
guardians, may be carried free; children OF
five or under ~ years of age may be carried
at half-fare, 1t inferentially permits special
additional charges for special trains or 9TH
er unusual service. 1t inferentially permits
a variation in charges based upon restricted
| availability of the ticket.
1t inferentlally permits the Issuance oi
mileage, excursion or accommodation passen.
| ger tickets, but does not permit discrimina.
tion in favor Of any person. For example
rates made in favor of any organized body
religious, secular, secret, etc, must be con,
/ acf ilainla IN
permits reduced rates to ministers of reli
gi0n, and free transportation to railway EN-
| pl0y es it also interentially permits the Issue
| of reduced rates to railway employees.
The general passenger agents recommend
! that thousand-mile tickets, If sold, must bG
shall be at the uniform rate of q cents pei
| mile
